About this ebook
Everybody knows her as Jane Smith—a successful businesswoman.
What they don't know is that Jane has also successfully distanced herself from her past.
Until she meets handsome American Gabriel Vaughan at a Christmas party. Rebuilding as an exclusive London caterer, she relies on an unmarked van to guard her privacy. She dyed her hair chestnut, tossed her wedding ring into the river, and buried the tragedy that shattered her. Stepping into the kitchen of a private holiday dinner, the ruthless tycoon has no clue this quiet cook once shared front-page headlines with him.
Her only defense is keeping her head down, managing her orders, and never letting him see her panic. Instead, Gabe corners her over dessert, tracks her through the snow, and demands a place by her side.
Gabe's determined to get close to her, seduce her and sooner or later he'll recognize her...as a former society lady with a secret...
